About Martha
Martha Fenimore uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 39 years of experience. Martha listens carefully and helps people make sense of what gets in the way of feeling better.
She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Martha also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that repeat across relationships.
How Martha works
These approaches are mixed with solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand inner parts that drive feelings and choices. Martha has spent decades helping people with depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing parenting stress, intimacy issues, adoption and foster care questions, and multicultural concerns.
Her practice covers relationship and family problems, communication difficulties, and career or life purpose struggles. Clients who work with her explore coping tools for compassion fatigue, postpartum depression, seasonal mood changes, and ADHD-related challenges. She also addresses abandonment, codependency, guilt and shame, and control issues.
Martha offers a calm, steady presence and practical suggestions people can try between sessions. Sessions are offered from Florida and are available in English. Martha accepts international clients and uses a mix of session styles to suit different needs and schedules.

Online support options
Approaches and how they translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's needs and priorities, emphasizing listening, empathy, and support so people can lead session conversations and set the pace. It helps with stress, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and coping strategies people can practice between sessions.
Martha will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best. She asks about goals, past experiences, and what feels most comfortable, then adjusts methods as work progresses. Finding the right mix is treated as a joint process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full-session conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick exchanges or ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These formats give flexibility for different schedules, rhythms, and communication preferences while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
